    Default help clown fish not eating!!

    Hi I'm fairly new to all this but I have 2 clown fish in my tank that had been doing very well with the frozen brins shrimp until I was running late for work and I accidently forgot to put the brine back in the freezer when my husband got home he noticed it was out so he put it back in the freezer and since then I have noticed that they don't eat should I buy new brine is the one I thawed out accidently no good anymore...I'm scared to wake up and they be dead!!!

    Yea, I'd would buy new food.
    If they might be stressed out, I find it calms them if I turn off the light a little early before their usual night time.
    I'm totally new at this too but that seems to keep the stress level down.
    Also, make sure your tank is in good shape... meaning keep up with water changes.
    Hope they eat soon and good luck!

    the food went bad, just get some new stuff. add in some mysis shrimp with the brine since it is more nutritious.

    yea brine goes bad if it is left out and it accumulates mass ammonia.... and if they still don't eat after a while i would try some of that garlic additive...

    Like Marco said I would try some galric Most all the LFS have it. I have used both garlic gard and garlic extream with good succes using both in the past.

    Frozen mysis would be better. I'd also thaw it out a bit before putting it in the tank.
